[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent that allows supervised drinking. We, and other parents, are well aware of the legal risks, especially in Maryland and Virginia and that's why we are very careful and have talked to the kids about those issues. One thing that I think is important is to have lots of communication betwen parents. No surprises. [b]So nobody is going to let their kid show up, hopped up, on post-dental surgery drugs.[/b] But again, I accept the legal risks because I hope it avoids other risks such as binge drinking and drunk driving.

Are you sure you can tell? Because I probably couldn't always tell.[/quote]

And unless you're searching them you can't prevent a kid bringing a handful of pills and popping them in the bathroom.  To each his own, but I don't think I'd want to risk my own neck (legally speaking) based on trusting a teenager to not do something stupid because they so appreciate the ability to drink in the comfort of your home.  Teens push boundaries, it's just part of being a teen.  [/quote]
